Lowrance Model Compatibility - 04/27/21 08:06 PM
I am selling a Carbon 12 to my step-son for his console. A 3-in-1 transducer will be placed at the transom. He'd like to get a unit for the bow that will have a DSI transducer on the trolling motor and network with the Carbon 12 at the dash. Is the Elite FS series compatible for this purpose?
I understand some models share waypoint info via NMEA, and HDS (Carbon/Live) share that and more (mapping & imaging) via Ethernet. Will any of this work between Elite FS and Carbon?
I ask since the Elite FS has both a NMEA port as well as one physical Ethernet connector. He's trying to be budget-conscious so the Elite FS is more attractive if it will share waypoints with the Carbon.
